Still, despite saying that...
Lynn did not hesitate. Before the entire hive city's root data shattered, he brought her out of that rift as quickly as he could.
The last Machine God was still being born. If he had possessed consciousness at that moment, Lynn could never have easily rescued her from that danger right under his nose.
And not long after they left...
The enormous hive city collapsed completely. All its data dissolved into streams of information that were swept into the blood-red tide overhead.
"Hey, how are you doing? Can you still recognize me?"
Within the Network Passage of data, Lynn set the Intelligent Brain down and studied her digital body.
She was still muttering deliriously.
Still murmuring.
But aside from that complete sentence earlier, every sound she made had become meaningless noise.
Something stirred in Lynn's mind.
He immediately reached out, releasing waves of data fluctuations as he linked into the Intelligent Brain before him and checked her current condition.
And once he checked...
Lynn discovered the problem in an instant.
He frowned.
Inside her body, the data that constituted her was utterly chaotic, with almost no logic or order to speak of. In human terms, it was as though all her internal organs had been twisted and crushed together.

But an AI's composition was completely different from a human soul.
Lynn could only temporarily stem the continuous loss of code and data within her. It
